Stylin’ and Smilin’: FB Live Video

October 4, 2018 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Here’s an idea custom tailored to sell home decor items on a Facebook Live Video:

Stylin’ and Smilin’

Gather home decor items that you can, one by one on camera, place into a vignette on a coffee table, as a centerpiece, on a mantel or a bookcase. Have some swap-outs. Talk your way through the arrangement, explaining why you chose which piece, and how this piece can totally change a look while that piece would be better here….. 

Stylin' and Smilin' in your resale shop by Kate Holmes

More furniture/home accessories ideas here.

You can start small 🙂 as in a coffee table display… and work your way up as your courage grows to a bookcase like this!

You’re their on-demand, in-home (well, in-phone at least!) interior designer!

If you have an assistant, get her/him to make a list of the items you’re using and add them in the comments as you go so they can be bought. No assistant? Add the list later.

You KNOW customers hesitate to buy because they’re unsure how to make their choices look as wonderful as the groupings in your store… so show them how their home can look terrific! Remove their pain!

Of course, Stylin’ and Smilin’ works just as well on a dress form. This necklace or that? Cardigan or bolero? Which shoes?

The photo’s from meandjilly.blogspot.com which is OOB but has some great tutorials.
